    30 Things That'll Help You Return To The Office In Style

    Back to the office = a great excuse to buy new clothes.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. A pair of cropped paper bag pants that are light and breathable for those hot summer commutes.

    2. A loose-sleeved blouse that's extremely comfy while still looking pulled together. And at this price, you might as well snag one in every color.

    3. A high-waisted pleated maxi skirt you can pair with a T-shirt and statement jewelry — office casual *without* sacrificing your personal style!

    4. A sleeveless V-neck midi dress that *ahem* has pockets and will further demonstrate to your coworkers that you are, in fact, the best-dressed employee. 💅

    5. An embroidered tunic dress for a quick, cute, and simple one-and-done number.

    6. A ruffled chiffon off-the-shoulder maxi dress for those of you who *exclusively* wear dresses to work in the summer. Just prepare yourself for the endless compliments you're about to recieve. 👏

    7. Or a floral front-tie dress that's equally comfy and will still look great for your post-work plans out on the town.

    8. A pencil dress that shows you absolutely mean B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S and nothing less!

    9. A V-neck tee perfect for layering under denim jackets or tucked into skirts. Best of all? The sleeves are a lil' extra baggy so you won't have to worry about dreaded pit stains.

    10. And a denim jacket, because you somehow lost yours over quarantine and have frantically searched every corner of your apartment looking for it.

    11. A pair of black loafers that are pretty much a perfect dupe for THOSE loafers. You know the ones. No need to mention. You'll have all your coworkers fooled.

    12. A high-waisted pleated skirt that makes getting dressed super easy: slip it on, tuck in your fav graphic T-shirt, and boom, you're done.

    13. A pair of high-waisted palazzo trousers that are a perfect antidote to a year spent in sweatpants. They're suuuuper comfy, but still look bomb.

    14. A ruffleneck top that's really no frills but is still *sophisticated* and pairs nicely with trousers or denim.

    15. A pair of plaid knit leggings, because how can ANYONE expect you to give up your beloved WFH leggings just so you can go work in some office? Well, don't worry — these are a couple notches above and jussssst as comfy.

    16. A pair of ~wedgie fit~ straight jeans made with just-enough stretch and a nice crop — perfect for rocking those new high tops you copped last month.

    17. A pair of square-toe boots that'll automatically elevate any outfit you're rocking. What's easier than throwing on a dress and zipping up a pair of boots!? Well, not getting ready at all. You can pick that bone with your employer.

    18. Or, a pair of stretchy skinny jeans that have an impressive 5,000+ positive reviews from people raving about their true high rise and impeccable fit. I think you just found half of your in-office uniform.

    19. A pair of Sam Edelman classic dress sandal heels that just look great with everything. I'm sorry, but there's no debating it. If you have to be dressed up in your office or are just looking to rock some heels, these are the ones you'll be reaching for day after day.

    20. A dressy vintage-style floral skirt fully equipped with a high waist AND pockets that'll add a fun pop of color to your otherwise beige work wardrobe.

    21. Or a skater skirt that can be dressed up or down in a multitude of ways, from the office and out to dinner and back again.

    22. A pair of cotton trousers that are light as a feather and ultra breathable.

    23. A three-tiered bohemian skirt ideal for Summer Fridays when you're trying to hit the beach or do some shopping as soon as lunchtime rolls around.

    24. A simple wrap dress that'll fit ya like a glove and very quickly let everyone in your office know who's boss. You'll also look incredible at happy hour, too.

    25. A longline plaid jacket that's somewhere between an overcoat and a blazer. This will look equally great in a meeting during the week as it will brunch on the weekends.

    26. A shaggy cardigan to keep on your desk chair, because the only thing you remember from your in-office days is that it's FREEZING in there.

    27. A medium-sized Madewell transport tote that'll be the perfect carryall for your trip into work and back. Laptop, snacks, wallet, water bottle — it covers all the bases without being *too* big or bulky (and makes no sacrifices in the way of style).

    28. A pair of round, mirrored sunnies to protect your precious eyes from the harmful rays of the intensifying sun. BUT, more importantly — to help you avoid awkward eye contact in the elevator or hallway on your way into work. 👀

    29. A wildflower necklace guaranteed to elevate any look — even your jeans and t-shirt on casual Fridays.

    30. A pair of cropped camo chinos that'll be the standout star of all your office looks. After working from home for over a year, you're back and bolder than ever!
